So basically I am able to move all 3 axis using the controller on the LCD. Everything works as it should. First I tried to run the G code through the SD port on the LCD and the machine made 3 moves then froze up with a strange sound coming out of the z-axis stepper. I have read on the forums that the micro SD adapters can cause issues so I tried 3 other SD cards, same issue. My next attempt I made a new g-code file with a different drawing, same issue. I connected to the computer and tried to run it through Repetier-Host with the result being the same 3 moves and then freezing up. Lastly, I read another post about a faulty LCD so I tried to unplug the LCD and just run from Repetier. Also no luck. I am stumped at this point. Does anyone know if it could be a control board issue?
Yea, it’s moving, just too slow to see. You have your feeds way too slow.
See if this moves your machine in the air, don’t cut with this, I don’t know if it is too fast for your machine or not. Just zero the z with an inch or so of space below it, and run the program.
